wpa woes

[CSMR]

Trying to secure my wireless network. Trying wpa and it works but always disconnects after a while (when the keys change?). When I manually tell it to connect it works again (after taking a couple of minutes to re-inform itself, get the right IP address etc.. Resetting the computer also works. However otherwise it won't reconnect automatically at all.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Does this only happen with WPA ? Sometimes other things can cause this.

It works fine without security. I'll try WEP to see if that's OK.

I had a similar problem with WEP. I had the "Use 802.11x authentication" box checked and it would drop the connection all the time. I don't know if that would affect WPA, but it might be something similar.

CSMR, what card, what AP, and are you running the latest software on each?

All Belkin wireless-G stuff. Says it supports wma on the box. Their software doesn't do it directly so I was having windows xp manage it.

Get a better wifi router. Buffalo tech or SMC 2804wbr have worked VERY well in all the home enviros I have set them up in.
